I think depending upon how long you've had the diagnosis,
the symptoms,
how severe the symptoms are,
ie; if you're low or high or bit of both functioning,
and if you have any other disorders/illnesses alongside BPD,
and if they clash/make it worse,
it can be subjective to those factors.
I don't think things are fully concrete,
things can change, for both the better and the worse,
but I also think if you don't do anything about BPD,
like engaging in therapy/taking medication/etc
then there will be little chance of your symptoms getting any better.
Professionals have told me I need very intensive long term intervention including things like therapy and medication,
possible specialist long term hospitalization
[funding issues can be a problem though like it is for myself right now]
but these things can be incredibly useful and helpful for BPD symptoms,
so I think it's the same for others,
therapy and meds and specialist help can really help,
but only if you're determined to work at it and commit to it.
It is incredibly difficult to do that though,
but it is possible for your symptoms to get better and for you to not struggle and suffer as much as you are now,
but it takes massive and major commitment, determination, and such.
